YES ON PROP 8!!!

Protect the sanctity of marriage and the freedom of religion by voting YES on prop 8 this election!! I feel very strongly about this. We need to tell the people that we know, our neighbors, our teachers, our co-worker, family, and friends!!! Let's have OUR voices heard, not just the voice of the minority. THANK YOU!!!!!

o.. p.s. Kelly and I are having another baby!!!! WOOHOO... (kinda ;)) due around June 8, 2009!

Maddie's One!

Sorry I have been so bad with blogging but here is our most recent milestone in Maddie's life! On August 30th she turned 1!!!

Nana and Maddie looking adorable in pink!

Dada and Maddie (Maddie is gagging herself, her new trick)

This little girl was a speed racer on Esther's big girl trike!

CAUTION!! TMI!! NOT FOR THE WEAK STOMACHED!

So Maddie had tio much big people food yesterday and was having a hard time pooping in her diaper.. so I had a bright idea of putting her on the toilet so she could have some good leveredged pooping and she was on for about 1 minute before she got some momentum going and as you could see it worked!

I can do it I can do it!!!

look at those miniature people terds!!! Grandma calls it "man poop"!

I did it I did it!!

"Bye Bye PooPoo"

This was her favorite part!

Thanks for participating.

Our Trip to Beverly Hills

The MAC store at the Beverly Center mall was having a party for their new spring line and they had this handsome hunk standing in the window being painted by the party guests.. well I had to get myself a piece of the action, so I went to the window and just stared... well the nice shman running the show brought me in and asked if I had steady hands and I of course said yes so he let me paint the pocket on his rippling pecks..

Just a little flushed.

Isn't She Lovely!

I know that you shouldn't brag... but I can't help it! She is just so cute! Maddie is just learning how to really get scootin' and now she can successfully go in the opposite direction she is trying to go.. BACKWARDS! It's crazy how time has flown, she is already 6 1/2 months! Wow. Well I love my little lady and we are having so much fun.

Esther and Maddie Visit the Easter Bunny

Kellie Ann and I went to South Coast Plaza yesterday with the girls and bought coordinating dresses at H&M and then went and found the Scary Easter Bunny.. Well at least I thought he was scary, the girls were fascinated with him. This is the only picture with them actually looking at the camera all of the other ones were of them staring and touching the bunny!

Maddie loves to jump soo much that she has TWO jumpers. One is the "Johnny Jumper" shown above and the second is a jungle jumperoo. She is so get and gets sooo much air... its hilarious!

Maddie and Grandpa Hangin' Out

The Cutest Babies in the Zoo!!

These Pictures are kind of out of order.. Madeline, Kellie Ann, Esther, Katie, Lily, Jackson, Michelle, Gavin, and I went to the L.A. Zoo on Friday and had a blast. The best and most enjoyable part was after Maddie dozed off in my arms! You can tell which pictures are which by A: the animals or B: the babies in the strollers. The other pictures are of Maddie just being adorable!!! She got her ears pierced on thursday night, so I did my best to document, but you can't see them that well... but let me tell you, I didn't think it was possible to make this kid any cuter, but apparently it is. I know I talk about how cute Maddie is all the time, but I can't help it!! Anywho.. all this post is missing is Maddie with her other two cousins; Ada and Calvin, but I will try to get together with them soon.. PICTURE PARTY!! :)

Esther loved the monkeys at the zoo, she kept saying Ooh Ooh!
This is Lily and her friend Apple...
Mama and Baby just hangin out!
The whole fam. (Left: Mama, Middle: Baby.. duh!, Right: Dada)

Maddie loves it when she has a crib full of toys! But she tries to drown herself in them if she is left alone for too long! If you look real hard you can see Maddie's pierced ear (her other one is pierced too ;))

She hardly even cried... well she cried really hard but only for like 20 seconds and then she was a happy baby!
This is Maddie's cousin Jackson... cuteness is in the genes...
This is her other cousin Gavin or G-man is what we call him.
Maddie of course! I think she gets cuter and cuter every day!!!
